Re: subtle problem with x86_64 automake1.4

This would be partially my fault. I NMU'd 1.4-p6-11 as part of the x86_64 bootstrap, with they hyphen per the upstream tarball versioning, not realizing the x86 package was versioned 1.4p6 (without the hyphen), and bumped the release number due to the addition of Fedora's patchset. When Chuck got around to redoing his packages, his last x86 release was 10, so he bumped his to 11, probably not realizing that it needed to be 12 because of my x86_64-only bump.

I've added a kludge to the version sorter that upset uses which causes
-p6 to sort before p6 but, please don't create packages with different
patch number versioning schemes like this.

I removed my bootstrap packages in favour of Chuck's to be safe.
